Chevrolet Camaro to Join Mustang and Challenger in NASCAR
Not sure how I feel about this. I've said NO before, but it actaully doesn't look too bad. The "Camaro" will be running alongside "Mustangs" and "Challengers" in the Nationwide series starting in 2013.

Like the idea... Hate the execution. Nationwide Nascar series should change the rules for the body of the cars now that 3 pony cars are in the series. The mustang looks like it has down syndrome and the camaro's upper half is way off.

This fake Camaro makes me wonder if they couldn't have gotten away with a slightly taller greenhouse so that some of the visibility complaints would have been diminished. Obviously not proportioned like this racecar, but maybe a little taller.

Re: Chevrolet Camaro to Join Mustang and Challenger in NASCAR
With Dodge leaving then I think its a good time for the Nationwide series to dump the whole NASCAR template car idea and switch to actually Mustangs and Camaros. Can you imagine a "real" ponycar series with the BOSS-302 and SS 1LE running side-by-side as race prepped cars having much closer DNA to their street-legal counterparts?
It would be a gold mine for NASCAR and both manufacturers.
